I don't think that you can be any more niche than the Sucklord. He makes bootleg action figures, but unlike some who knock-off action figures, he updates well-known figures to suit his own evil needs. Perhaps you recall Gay Empire, the pink Storm Trooper that he released last year? If you missed that one, you have a rare opportunity to check out his new wares at the release party for Mary Paper$ (pictured here) and Sucklord 78 tonight, Thursday, 18 May 2006 at 7pm at Hi Five in Williamsburg, Brookyn. Mary Paper$, limited to 200 and the first to feature flocking, and both are the latest must-have collectibles from the most notorious toy brand in New York. The Galactic Jerkbag will also be available. Mary and the Sucklord will be there in costume and will be signing autographs. As the flyer says, "helmets, costumes and masks encouraged." How can you go wrong? Info and flyer after the jump.
